do you have any themed murder mystery games?

This question is really difficult – because I have no idea what might (or might not) offend your guests.

In general, there’s nothing in the games that you wouldn’t expect to find in a typical episode of Inspector Morse. In particular, there’s often adultery, theft, fraud, blackmail, drugs and (of course) murder. But hopefully you’d expect that from a murder mystery.

how many players do I need?

Most murder mystery parties are for a variable number of guests.

For example, Murder at Sea can be played with anywhere between 17 and 33 guests (plus one host). 17 is the absolute minimum you would need for Murder at Sea.

If you have more than 17 but fewer than 33 guests, the game details which characters you should and shouldn't use.
